' SEES GAIN FOR CAUSE “I decided that Russia declared war on the United States more than 30 years ago and I have been fighting the Bolshevik threat in my limited way over that period;” Foley said. "It was only within the last few years that my side began to gain when some brave leaders began kicking the Kremlin in the teeth and responsible officials began Re vealing the deadly truth in an alarming manner." He said the danger of Commu nism has been dramatized until the formerly indifferent citizen can visualize now the “evil day when' St. Frei els of Assisi is believed to have originated the custom of displaying file Christ Child .ha a ' crib at Christmas time, ti He is reported once to have said ■ to one of his followers: “I wish to celebrate holy Christmas night with you. fertile woods dear the doli-, I ter you wfll filin'si cave where w* shah arrange a manger fifed with i hay.

FOR UNITED ACTION He said that because df the pro found change in the outlook of his fellow Americans, die decided that while the individual is helpless, a million hard core antl-Commu nists United for action could save this . republic and the* civilized world. Foley has received hundreds of letters from all over the United States and four foreign countries asking how the writers could help in the organization. The main purpose of the society, ; Foley said, is to educate the pub _JTOPAggyico«ip. Dtnty.w.a TT’S LITTLE WONDER that Saint f Nick Is especially generous to the American people. History proves that the Americans have done a lot fdr Saint Hick! They have given him a new name, a new face and figure, and a new means of transportation.* The original European version of Saint Nick pictured him as a tall angular men who rode on" a bony gray mare. Both the horse and Saint Nick looked as if they hadn't had a good meal in some time. The early English settlers in this country started giving Saint Nicholas his "New Look." The Eng lish children adopted the legendary Christmas figure from the Dutch, but the English children had trou ble pronouncing "Saint Nickolous.” Somehow the' name changed to, "Santa Kalouf," and finally it was ' corrupted to "Santa Claus.” However, this was only the be ginning. In 1809 Washington Irving, in his "Knickerbocker’s History of New York,” wrote of the Saint as the -guardian of New York City. Irving described Saint Nick as a jolly fellow with a broad-brimmed hat and huge breeches. He taught Saint Nick to smoke a long pipe, and, in the story, replaced his shuffling hay-bumer with a trim wagon. A short time loiter, Saint Nicholas' transportation was aided by Clement Moore in his famous poem, "The Visit from Saint Nicholas,” written in 1882. Moore, a professor of divinity in a New York theolog ical seminary, gave Saint Nick a sleigh, twinkling eyes, cheeks like roses, nose like a cherry, and a round little belly. Today’s Santa Claus is by no means streamlined, but he is a far cry from the lean, ascetic, som berly dressed fellow who, for cen turies, on Christmas Eve, guided his mare through the streets df Europe.
